Timeline:
Jan 20 - Federal Aviation Administration Director fired.
Jan. 21 - Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
Jan. 22 - Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
Jan. 28 - Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees
Jan. 29 - first American mid-air collision in 16 years
By golly, Trump is actually correct. Someone with severe intellectual disabilities did fuck us over.
It’s mind boggling anyone would even try to dismantle the FAA- they’re one of the most boring organizations out there and their #1 concern is safety. There’s even tons of money to be made while worrying about safety, so it is so odd to do this. Trying to reduce air traffic controllers is an insane idea in general- without them everyone’s flying blind. It’s gonna take decades to figure out all the damage this moron has done just like with Reagan
And it’s one of the most useful government offices if you’re a billionaire who travels by plane everywhere. Plebs who have to drive everywhere are a lot less affected by overworked, overstressed, underpaid ATCs than guys like him.
Well thanks to the ElonJet guy they know where all the important planes are… Who needs flight control when you have xcom /s
- Drastically reduce their budget
- Fire the most experienced people
- Watch it all go to hell. More accidents and close calls.
- Blame gov workers and democrats
- ???
- Profit!
He’s still bitter over PATCO, 1981
“We may never find out what caused this terrible tragedy, but rest assured that a minority was involved.”
I agree with trumps sentiment. Old, fat, stupid, senile people should not be in positions that need to make critical decisions.

This would be more fun if you were at least clever.
As an autistic person (and no, we don’t throw Nazi Salutes as stimming…) I honest to fucking god am so numbed by this guy’s bullshit that it is kinda incredible.
All I could think of is how the mentally disabled were the first victims of the holocaust in WW2. Starting in 1939 around the time of the invasion of Poland.
The accident is 100% on Elon Musk and Trump. They fired the FAA safety officials and never replaced them, in addition to cutting massive amounts of funding and personnel that made an accident like this inevitable.
Fuck him. Fuck him HARD.
I just want to point out that
Trump announced sweeping personnel changes, including a hiring freeze. But aviation experts said Trump had done little that could have precipitated the crash between a commercial jet from Wichita, Kansas, and a military Black Hawk helicopter. There was simply too little time – less than 10 days after Trump was sworn in – for any of his broadly worded executive orders to have had an effect, experts said.
He is still an asshole, but the firing had, apparently, as much to do with the crash as DAI programms: nothing at all.
He’s blaming everything on DEI and the democrats and black people and the mentally disability (even though he very likely has dyslexia, which might explain why people speculate that he is functionally illiterate). Don’t let him have it.
And he’s an idiot for doing so. Non the less, if experts who know more about the inner workings say that him firing people had nothing to do with it then I will trust them on it.
I know it makes a nice narrative: Trump blames DAI but is actually the one to blame. But if that narrative doesn’t hold up to reality then i think we shouldn’t push it forward.
It’s bad enoth that he uses the death of humans to scream about his wired anti DAI point. He doesn’t need to be responsible for the crash in order to criticise that.
He’s talking about himself
Oh hey, we’re headed towards useless eaters rhetoric really quickly
If you dont have a net worth that’s 6 figures minimum, or come from a nice family with a background of being an american “patriot” or otherwise having come from a not-shithole country. then you’re a useless eater.
“Useless eaters” are a term with a specific history of explicit oppression of the disabled (usually ablism is merely implicit).
Im aware. Im re-using the term with 21st century moron-think
I have literally heard strikingly similar arguments to the “useless eaters” rhetoric in refernece to everything from housing, jobs, and even f’ing gadgets.
have heard maniacs say “we gotta have a depopulation if we’re gonna be able to continue affording our quality of life”
“severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, or other mental or physical conditions”
I thought he was talking about his supporters.
Himself
Please bring another slander lawsuit against him
yeah, he is god emperor immune… that’s a waste of time
At the very least it’s another fact that will join him down into history. It’s not enough that he’s the worst president ever, we can tank his stats so no one ever comes close
So he actually blames himself. Fair enough
And once again, Trump controlled the conversation, and all the actual evidence is out there window for most people.
It would be awesome if there was an unspoken “don’t feed the troll” understanding among journalists, influencers, mods, forum commenters, everyone. When Trump says something outrageously stupid, just… briefly acknowledge it, and then ignore it and proceed as usual. Like he doesn’t exist.
That’s a narcissist’s worst fear.
Sure, he’d bounce around in the conservative echo chamber, but at least he wouldn’t pull more people in.
You can’t ignore it when it is coming from the president of the US
And yet in another post you’re arguing for people not trying to take control of the narrative and tie it to his firing if aviation safety advisors.
You just want everyone to be silent on Trump, except Trump.
It would be awesome if every time he did something, that he was properly challenged.
Oh and those alt-right echo chambers started before Trump and them growing was what enabled him. Ignore them at your own peril.
I seems like any time any post is made about anything Trump says, someone has to tell us all that it’s a distraction from what’s really going on.
As if Trump is even capable of that level of deception. Yes, Trump lies all the time… to get his way when he isn’t getting it. Notice how he wasn’t lying about the fascism.
And yet one of them is in the White House running things
He should work a shift as an air traffic controller so that people can understand he’s just a regular guy like they are.
People are already suffering and dying because of him, let’s not make it any easier for him to take lives.
A simulated shift, maybe.
He’s not qualified. He is considered to have to much mental degradation and is barred by federal law to hold a position that important.
…wait
And Trump knows best, he has all the listed conditions himself.
In some way, it also symbolizes what he is doing to the country. His plane is just a bit bigger.
Maybe the intellectual disabilities, but the blame list included people with dwarfism.
I’d like him to tell that directly to Peter Dinklage, because I have no doubt that he could kick Trump’s ass. And probably take out half the secret service on the way.
Do not fuck with this man.
Trump is so dumb, he probably thinks dwarfism means a micropenis, so in that case it does apply to him.
Peter Dinklage can kick Trump his ass both phisically and intellectually. But to be fair, most people can, from the age of 3 and up.
The fucknut Orange Nero described himself.
Yes, and he is the one at fault.
Yup that is how this presidency will be explained. America had the potential to be the greatest country in the world, but it just always remains out of reach, and that fucker you have in charge will irreparable do even more damage.
I feel sorry for what you (not you in particular) voted for (or what was stolen by the tech bros).
Hope you make it through this.
History is unkind to Nero, who was really not that bad in comparison to a shitload of emperors that came before and since. I’m not saying Nero was good, I’m saying his reputation of being one of the worst isn’t even close. I hope history is as unkind to Trump.
Next time AF1 goes for a jaunt to pedo-island, the air traffic controllers that trump is insulting have an opportunity to become really American heroes…
It would be great if every ATC suddenly denied Air Force 1 take off clearance because they “need a little extra time to ensure the president’s safety”
